While the packaging consists of recyclable material for the main part, it is recommended

that it be kept for any future movement.

In case of any evident signs of damage to the packing case and to the external parts of

the mixer, it is recommended that the mixer should not be installed. The matter should

be communicated both to the carrier, making use of the appropriate space in the

dispatch documents, and to the retailer, who shall provide detailed instructions as to the

procedure to be followed for possible repair or substitution.

5.1 Advance preparation for correct installation

In order to obtain the best operating results, the area where the equipment is to be

installed must meet the following requirements:

• Clean location and free of dust

• Soft flooring, stable with anti-dust varnish or tiles, free of vibration, on which to

place the mixer

• Adequate ventilation

• Equipped with electrical power sockets and earthed.

The mixer requires the following minimum necessary LOCAL CONDITIONS:

Electric Power:

(Continuous required) 1.2KVA

Floor weight tolerance 1000 Kg/m2

Temperature 18°- 40° C

Humidity 20-65%

Maximum noise level 50 dB (A)

Vibrations of a continuous mechanical or impulse nature are not tolerated.

5.2 Removing the crate

6.4 Placing Containers Inside the Machine

The tin should be placed near the machine. For the movement of products in excess of

10 Kg, it is recommended that a suitable system of transport and handling be employed.

Where possible, it is recommended that the lifting handles, provided on some kinds of

containers, be removed, if this is not possible, elastic tape should be used to prevent the

handles swinging during shake operation.

1. Open the door and extract the sliding tray using the retaining lever as depicted in

Figure 3 below:

2. It is recommended that the arms be distanced so as to have a space of at least 20

mm from the top of the tin to the top plate. In opposite cases, where the tin is small

and the arms are very far away, the machine will automatically bring the arms closer

until clamping is effected

3. Place the can on the grooved loading plate, checking that the container is sufficiently

concentric to the rotation axis of the plate itself: although extreme precision is not

necessary, accurate centralization avoids the creation of vibrations. The concentric

grooving of the rubber supports assists this operation.

4. Push the sliding tray with tin inside the machine until the retaining system locks. Close

the door.

IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND THUS TO START THE

WORKING CYCLE UNTIL THE SLIDING TRAY IS CORRECTLY LOCKED

Figure 3: Sliding Tray

Chameleon Colour Systems iMix – USER MANUAL

Page 14 of 33 UM013 Rev 5

6.5 Program Selection

1. The rotation speed will be automatically selected based on the height and weight

of the tin. Typically the speeds are based on the parameters below.

With tin weight up to 7 Kg select: HI

With tin weight over 7 and up to 24 Kg select MID

With tin weight over 24 Kg select: LOW

FOR TINS WITH WEIGHT EXCEEDING 7 KG IT IS DANGEROUS TO RUN A

WORKING CYCLE AT HIGH SPEED.

2. Press the “START” button to begin the working cycle as programmed.

Tin Unloading

On completion of the cycle the clamp arms will automatically separate. Open the

door and extract the sliding tray as depicted in Figure 4 using the retaining lever.

The machine is ready for running a new working cycle.

7.0 Maintenance

7.1 General

Prior to dispatch all equipment is tested and carefully checked by the Manufacturer. It is

important to remember however, that the machine still requires ordinary attention to be

paid, such as, for example, a systematic control of the safety systems, a lubrication of

the mechanical moving parts etc.

Operations of checking and maintenance are necessary to maintain the technical

conditions, the production and safety as envisaged by the manufacturer.

ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL MUST BE REQUESTED TO

PERFORM SUCH OPERATIONS.

7.2 Repairing

• Use only reliable and properly fitting tools.

• Only use CHAMELEON COLOUR SYSTEMS parts for replacements.

• Before the equipment is released for use following servicing, checks must be

carried out to ensure that all the settings are correct and the control and safety

systems are working properly.

7.3 Tightening of the Transmission Belts: (Quarterly)

Procedure

1. Disconnect the machine

from the electrical supply.

2. Remove the machine from

the wall by about 80 cm

3. Remove the rear panel (10

self – tapping screws using

Philips screwdriver).

4. Apply the 15 mm spanner

provided to the tensioning

screw located on the slide

into which the motors are

fitted, until correct tension

is obtained.

5. The trapezoidal belt

controlled by the 0,18 KW

motor (the small one on

the left), reaches the ideal

tension when an

application on the centre

line of the free track of a

force of about one

Kg produces approximately

20 mm flexion as depicted in Fig 6.

6. Applying the same force to the “Poly V belt”, this will reach correct tension when

the flexion of the free track is about 10 mm as depicted in Fig 6.

7. Reassemble the rear panel and reposition the machine, respecting the installation

lay out.

8. Verify the proper machine functioning using 10 Kg tin.
